"This company did a fantastic job on installing my new sod in both front and back yards. First they cleaned up my yards and put down rich new soil. It’s hard to find a company that professional as well as genuine. They treated my yards as if they were their own. I highly recommend this company as well as the workers that did my job. Thank you 50 shades of green! "

"Richter Tree and Lawn Service did a wonderful job with replacing our entire back yard with new zoysia sod. They trimmed one of our trees and some branches from our neighbor's tree which was encroaching into our tree. They gave us instructions on how to water and care for our new back yard. Their quote was the best price out of 4 other quotes that was given to us. We are very, very happy with Richter Tree and Lawn Service. "

"Forevergreen 2 Landscaping did a great job. We are extremely happy with their work. They replaced all the old grass and weeds, front and back yards, with sod; replaced all the old plants and shrubs in the front and back flower beds with the new ones we had requested; put in a 4 station sprinkler system; replaced the old retaining wall with new limestone blocks; and put in limestone trim around three of our front yard trees. Everything was done just as we requested. Great job. Highly recommend Forevergreen 2 Landscaping."

"Filled in the swampy area and dug out the proper grade out to the street. Placed good dirt and sod and smoothed out lawn, almost looks like nothing happened there."

"Victor and his team were quick to schedule, fair to quote and did a wonderful job on our sod install! Although this was a small job for them, he still made me a priority and that meant the world to me. I will be using this team again to finish what they’ve started and keep my HOA off my rear end! Highly recommended! And the work they did for a neighbor (which is how I found them) is absolutely beautiful!"

Customers say: Quality work

"We were very pleased with the finished small rock retaining wall. It looks better than we had expected. However it took a little longer than we expected. They had said 10 days, and of course that meant working days. One day they did not show up and so we called and eventually they called back and said they were having trouble with the company truck. Another day they did not show up and we called and they said that they were getting materials. However we very much like the final results of the work."

FAQs for sod installation projects in New Braunfels, TX

Seeding costs less up front, but you’ll wait months—and sometimes a full season—for the grass to fill in. Sod costs more per square foot, yet it gives you an instant, usable lawn the day it’s installed and needs far less care during the first year. 

If speed and early curb appeal matter, the higher sod price is often worth it; if you’re watching every dollar and don’t mind the wait, seed can still be a smart play.

Start by sketching your lawn and breaking it into rectangles or circles. Measure each section, multiply length by width, and then add all the sections together for the total square footage. Standard sod rolls are two feet by 1.5 feet, and one pallet covers 450 square feet. 

Divide your total area by 450 to see how many pallets you need, then round up—extras come in handy for cutting around curves or mistakes. Still unsure? A local sod supplier or installer can confirm your math before you order.

Most sod grips the soil within 10 to 14 days. During that stretch, keep foot traffic to a minimum and mow only if the grass gets tall. After two weeks, the roots should be strong enough for light use, but wait six weeks before heavy play or frequent mowing. Giving the grass that short honeymoon helps it anchor firmly and sets the stage for a durable, healthy lawn.

Give your new lawn two full weeks before any foot traffic, then stick to light use only. Hold off on vigorous play, parties, or regular mowing until the six-week mark so the roots can dig deep. Keep watering on schedule and watch for any dry patches. A little patience now means stronger turf and fewer repairs later.

Keep an eye on color, moisture, and even growth. Fresh sod should stay uniformly green; brown spots or gaps hint at dry soil or poor contact. Water deeply at least once a day for the first week (more in hot weather) and back off gradually after the roots take. Avoid heavy foot traffic until the grass feels firmly anchored. Quick attention to trouble spots now prevents costly patches later.

Aim for spring or early fall when daytime temps hover between 55°F and 80°F. Mild weather and consistent moisture help the roots knit quickly. Laying sod in midsummer can stress the grass, while frozen winter soil blocks rooting altogether. 

If you must install outside the ideal window, budget extra time for watering and tending to the turf. Choosing the right season makes the job easier and the lawn tougher.
